Silent Hunter 5 drops you under the sea behind the periscope of a German U-boat that has to silently slip through the sea in pursuit of the Allied Forces. Whilst you can watch your vessels progress in a third person view, you can also dive inside and walk through its decks as the ship's captain, interacting with the entire crew and observing the pressure they're under first hand. You can start things off slowly in beginner mode or, if you're up to the challenge, you can take control of the entire day to day operations of the submarine.
